& WARNING
• If the tire pressure indicator appears in the instrument cluster
display, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Reduce your speed immediately and avoid any hard steering or
braking maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and check the tires
and their pressures . Inflate the tire pressure to the proper pres­
sure as indicated on the vehicle's tire pressure label=>
page 249.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also is likely
to impair the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
& WARNING (co ntinued )
• The driver is responsible for maintaining the correct tire pres­
sures . You must check the tire pressures regularly .
• Under certain conditions (such as a sporty driving style, winter
conditions or unpaved roads), the pressure monitor indicator may
be delayed.
• Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run-flat tires may be used on
your vehicle. Your vehicle registration becomes invalid if you use
these tires when not permitted. Damage to your vehicle or acci­ dents could also result.
